Review of Elles

Elles (2011)
1/10
Unsettlingly bad
24 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Perhaps, I was expecting something else but I found this film profoundly disconnected and disconnecting, with the main character (Binoche) being annoyingly neurotic.

The film does not really question family life and values, it is just a kaleidoscopic array of scenes. Binoche is surprisingly bad, at least I did not like her at all in this role.

The beauty and candor of one of the two young prostitute was the best thing in the film, a beauty that life is meant to spoil. However, the crudeness of the sex scenes does not achieve what was meant to, it is just gratuitous at times.

I would not recommend this pretentious film in a million years to anybody!
